Two storytellers coming to museum
The Civic Museum and the Guelph Guild of Storytellers present an evening of storytelling on, March 26 featuring Tom Lips, of Ottawa, and Mary McCullum Baldasaro, of Kitchener.
The program begins at 7:30pm. This is the fourth annual By Word of Mouth event.
Lips is a teller of traditional and original tales, and a singer-songwriter with three recordings. Since 1992, he has shared stories of high adventure, laughter, and the supernatural at such venues as the Ottawa, Toronto, Westport, and North Bay Storytelling Festivals, the Governor-General's Residence, the National Arts Centre 4th Stage, and the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
Baldasaro credits her teachers, the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Cluny, for introducing her to her first love, stories, and to the magical power of words to touch the heart. Currently a teacher, she expresses story as a singer, an actor, and as a playwright. Her repertoire ranges from the traditional to her own original work. She has performed at the Latitudes Festival in Kitchener, and at the Toronto Storytelling Festival with other members of the Baden Storytellers Guild.
Tickets are $10 per person and available now at Guelph Civic Museum. Refreshments will be served.
The museum is located at 6 Dublin Street South.
